Funding & Projects

Horizon 2020

We are part of the 17-node consortium HOT—Hybrid Optomechanical Technologies, which includes 13 universities and four companies. HOT which will lay the foundation for a new generation of devices that connect or contain several nanoscale platforms in a single ‘hybrid’ system. This project is funded by the European Commission through its Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, grant no. 732894.

Julian Schwinger Foundation

We received funding to investigate optomechanical arrays as a platform for the amplification, processing, and routing of phonons. This programme will aim to exploit topological effects in such arrays, which were discovered recently.

We are looking for an excellent and independent postdoctoral researcher to join us for two years. If you have experience in theoretical topological photonics or phononics, please contact André Xuereb for more information.
